Dear Steve,
My two daughters, ages 3 and 5, are so excited to be learning karate from you and look forward to class each week. They come home and practice the different skills throughout the week. When I signed them up for karate, I wanted them to learn the basics and to acquire a few self-defense skills. I was pleasantly surprised that the classes not only cover a variety of techniques but also go beyond that in that it develops different areas of the self, which is extremely critical at this early stage in their lives. My daughters are learning "big" words like respect, discipline, and character. What I like is that you also emphasize good listening skills, which is extremely helpful in the home and classroom.

Dear Steve,
I am very happy with your class and as a parent, absolutely love the emphasis on Respect, Courtesy, Self Control - the importance of politeness, good manners, and appropriate behavior. What wonderful lessons, especially for this young 3-5 year old age group, to build their life long values on.

I enjoy the balance you give to teaching appropriate behavior along with teaching karate "moves". (BTW...I notice that my boys are showing more kindness lately, and I'm certain it is from what they have learned in your class! Courtesy and Respect are words we use on a daily basis now!)

Dear Steve,
The Character devlopment training proved popular with the kids and the audience. My son wanted to play the "Sensei Says It's All About Character" for a long time after the program itself had ended at our library.
